Step 1
Step 1: We know that the rotational constant B is related to the moment of inertia I by the equation B = h / (8ĻĀ²I), where h is Planck's constant. Show moreā¦

The bond lengths of the linear molecule HCN are given in Table 2.4. Calculate I and B for HCN and for DCN using relative atomic masses of H = 1, D = 2, C = 12, and N = 14.

Consider the molecule HCN: Draw valence bond diagram and orbital overlap diagram for HCN, where the internuclear axis is represented by the line connecting the two atoms. Valence bond diagram: H: - C ā” N Orbital overlap diagram: (b) How many pi bonds are there? (c) How many of the bonds are sigma bonds? The structure of HCN is: H-Cā”N. The H-C bond is a sigma bond. The C-N triple bond consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. Therefore, there are a total of two sigma bonds and two pi bonds in HCN.
